Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth is a turn-based strategy where players’ task is to build and maintain the self-sustaining human colony on a strange and dangerous planet. The game has been created by Firaxis Games studio, which is well-known for producing games of the Civilization series and you can go ahead and call them the spiritual heir of the legendary Alpha Centauri from 1999. The developers do not deny that they were inspired by classical production, but they also point out that Beyond Earth should not be treated as a continuation. It is rather a new vision which demonstrates how Civilization might look like in the futuristic and space circumstance.

Action Beyond Earth begins in about 2265 and one game covers a period of 3-4 thousand years. The basic rules of the game which are already known from Civilization have been preserved. The player is a mission commander, whose task is to investigate and colonize of an unknown planet. The game makes use of the improvements introduced with the fifth part of the main cycle. The map is divided into hexes, where can reside only a single individual.

Strategy

An official expansion for Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth, a 2014’s turn-based strategy game developed by Firaxis Games, the creators of the core game. The biggest novelty introduced by the add-on is lifting the limitation of our territory to the coastline and allowing expansion at seas and oceans. Thanks to this, we can now build cities or even entire states on the water and use the natural resources hidden in the underwater depths, although the latter is connected to a myriad of completely new dangers. Another notable change is the dynamic diplomacy model that also s for the actions taken by the player up to that point. The game also features a revamped artifact system and the possibility of combining doctrines and ideologies into various hybrids. The title comes with two entirely new biomes and four previously unavailable factions.

Civilization: Beyond Earth's brave new world feels pretty familiar, but that's okay.

Full Review

Game Rant: 3.5 / 5 by Matt Rowland

While 'Civilization: Beyond Earth' retains the familiar formula of its predecessor, Firaxis makes enough changes to keep it fresh.

Full Review

GamesRadar+: 4 / 5 by David Roberts

Civilization: Beyond Earth may seem a bit too familiar for a game supposedly set on a distant planet, but the roving packs of aliens and the new quest system make it an expedition worth embarking on.
